POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. If your 5-month-old baby's hemoglobin (Hb) is low, it’s important to address this carefully. Generally, solid foods are introduced around 6 months of age, but if your baby is anemic, introducing iron-rich complementary foods a little earlier may help. Before starting solids, consult your pediatrician—they might recommend iron-fortified cereals, pureed vegetables like spinach or lentils, and continue breastfeeding or formula feeding. Also, your doctor may suggest iron supplements to improve hemoglobin levels safely. Starting solids should be gradual and supervised by your healthcare provider.
